Wonderful tour with Raphaelle - We could not have asked for a better guide. Raphaelle was incredibly personable, kind, and knowledgeable. She picked us up at our lodgings and made the day incredibly easy. There is no way we could have covered the same ground on our own, and we certainly would have been far less informed. Raphaelle took care to tailor the information carefully to her audience. She was excellent when she was "on-script" as well as when she was responding to our many questions. We even quizzed her about some of our curiosities with French culture, and she graciously indulged us. This is the way to see the D-Day beaches. We highly recommend.
